Suresh has 4 movie theater coupons.
Let's break down the problem step by step. Suresh has 4 coupon books, and each book contains 6 coupons.
So, the total number of coupons he starts with is 4 books * 6 coupons/book = 24 coupons.
Now, Suresh decides to keep 1/3 of the coupons for himself.
To find out how many coupons he keeps, we can calculate 1/3 of the total number of coupons:
1/3 ×24
Multiplying 1/3 by 24 gives us 8. So, Suresh keeps 8 coupons for himself.
Now, we know that 50% of the coupons he keeps are for the movie theater.
To find out how many movie theater coupons he has, we can calculate 50% of the coupons he kept:
0.5×8
Multiplying 0.5 by 8 gives us 4. Therefore, Suresh has 4 movie theater coupons.
The expression to represent the number of movie theater coupons Suresh has is:
Number of movie theater coupons=0.5×( 1/4 ×Total number of coupons)
Evaluating this expression:
Number of movie theater coupons=0.5×( 1/3 ×24)=0.5×8=4
So, Suresh has 4 movie theater coupons.
